I went to NWC which was a pretty comical play write that depicted stereotypes and diversity as funny yet serious. The diversity of the crowd more than represented the great diversity that exists here at ISU. Though there were many different races, everyone could laugh at the jokes made, and understand the message of the event.
One cool aspect of the play was how each actor related childhood events to explain how their diversity affected them. The actors even stayed after and had discussion groups which was another thing that made the play stand out. This wouldn't have been a good play for the family and kids, but was perfect for a target audience of college students. Everyone had consecutive moments of shared laughter with the rest of the audience.
Overall the event was a cool experience that I will remember when I look back on my freshman year. Although they could have had a white person in there to make it NWCC, because reverse racism does happen. Maybe I'll try out for the part! I would recommend it to anyone who has the chance to attend.
This sounds like it was a great diversity event to have attended. Maybe you really sure try out for that part because you made a good point about there being reverse racism out there!
